Voters now are your change to improve our life in Monterey Park by voting for Anthony Wong, Bob Gin and Hans Liang. These candidates are the best for our hometown.

Vote NO on Measure BB, as it will not improve our quality of life in Monterey Park. This is a feel good measure promoted by Councilmember Frank Venti as his last attempt to leave his mark upon our city. Measure BB will not change anything in the current Athens contract. The current Athens contract states that in 2017 when it expires the trash hauler/waste management contacts must go out to open bid. Measure BB states the same thing that the future trash hauler/waste management contracts must go out to bid.

Measure BB has a price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 of your hard-earned tax dollars and will bind the hands of future Councilmembers deciding the future trash hauler/waste management contracts four our hometown. Say NO to Measure BB and Frank Venti.

Please vote on Election Day, March 8. Your one vote does make a difference to our hometown and our future in the United States of America.
